BACKGROUND
The Laredo International Airport is in need of updating our Airport Certification Manual (ACM) and Airport Emergency Plan (AEP). The ACM is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) per Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 139 to outline the day-to-day operations, compliance with the self-inspection program, and other related documents, such as the Airport Emergency Plan.
This project will include the overall review and update of the existing ACM and AEP for FAA review and eventual approval. This will be in compliance with the latest FAA guidance on ACM format.
This scope of work will consist of the following tasks:
1. Review existing ACM/AEP documentation and FAA guidance and requirements
2. Identify components of the ACM/AEP to be updated, including formatting and
pagination preferences
3. Revise ACM/AEP
Deliverables will include:
• Draft ACM/AEP including initial revisions
• Final ACM/AEP addressing comments from Airport staff review
